Is there actually anyway of stopping people lying to your face about it. What's stopping me from saying "yeah there are three people who want accounts in my house" and then using all the accounts for myself?

We're paying attention.

Hmm i feel like these are forums to troll or **** around. Well they are wrong to make duplicate accounts here.

I suggest if they make another account with the same IP, ban their IP so they wont do that again, unless if they are dumb to get another computer.

That's all very nice, but as stated before some people might have more than one person playing SWG in their household, me being one of them.

Secondly, also stated before, there is no need for a second account, because at the time of writing, there is no limit to the number of characters per account.

Third, if you've read the FAQ and other assorted sources of info on this forum, you're giving the devs a hard time, time that could have been spent on SWGEmu itself.

So, a heartfelt request from a regular user: Please don't create extra accounts. The only thing you would gain is a ban.

Well you could say that, but there is no point, which is THE point. Multiple accounts aren't needed.

No the point is not the morality behind it but the actual action. Just because there is no point in doing it doesn't mean that people won't do it. I genuinely want to know what is stopping someone from saying "I have three people in my house who want to play" (when in fact they don't) just to get extra accounts.

We're talking about owning multiple accounts here and not using one account on multiple computers right? Ever since I found the Emu, I've played it on my desktop, but a couple of months ago I bought a laptop and wanted to play the Emu on that. I'm just making sure its cool to log on to my old account and play the Emu on my new computer.

If there is a legitimate reason you need multiple accounts, or your IP may become attached to multiple accounts, you need to let an administrator know. There are times when you may innocently get your IP attached to a secondary account, such as letting a friend login to his or her account on your computer. This will make us think you have multiple accounts so if something like that happens please let an admin know so they don't lock one or both of the accounts.

The same goes for having more than one account per household. Everyone in your family can have an account, but if you're going to be using the same computer please let an admin know how many accounts to expect so none get banned. It's easier for everyone if you contact an admin before it becomes an issue.

I think the multiple accounts and old banned user accounts should be deleted.

I don't see a reason to keep them at least.

Again, we're paying attention. If someone feels the need to campaign multiple accounts to us and fabricate an elaborate plan hatched to manipulate us into allowing a second account, then so be it.

I suffer from multiple personality disorder. Can we have another account?

Yeah, can we?
